Increase value of pawns on fifth rank
...
This patch increases the endgame value of pawns on the fifth rank.
The increase is very small (+1 evaluation point, about 0.005 pawn)
for the pawns on external columns (a-b-c-f-g-h) and a bit bigger
(+7 evaluation points, about 0.033 pawn) for the pawns on d5/e5.

Fix fragile code to use proper random 64 bit keys.
...
This fixes an old issue where we want to make a position unique but only
change a small number of bits in the key instead of all 64 of them randomly.
This is fragile and can lead to non uniqueness issues in the TT.
Key make_key(uint64_t seed) takes any integer and produces a unique random 64 bit key.
It is computationally efficient and is based on a congruential pseudo random number
generator using well tested constants by Donald Knuth
(see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator )

Do less futility pruning for captures.
...
The idea of this patch is that if capture can be described as
"less valuable piece takes more valuable piece" it's not really correct
to add only piece value of captured piece to static evaluation
since there can be more threats in other places and opponent can't really
do much but recapture our capturing piece which leaves us space for
more captures thus winning more material and increasing static eval.

More reduction for evading pawn moves.

pawn moves are irreversable unlike other evading moves; pawn is the least valuable piece in the game.
So it makes a lot of sence to assume that evading pawn moves are on average not as good as other evading moves thus can be reduced more.

Small bonus to favor thorn pawns

Original idea by Malcolm Campbell, who tried the version restricted to the
pawns on the H column a couple of weeks ago and got a patch which almost
passed LTC. The current pull request just adds the same idea for pawns on
the A column.
Possible follow-ups: maybe tweak the a5/h5 pawn values, and/or add a malus
for very low king mobility in midgame?

Improve the anti-shuffling policy
...
We replace the current decrease of the complexity term in initiative
when shuffling by a direct damping of the evaluation. This scheme may
have two benefits over the initiative approach:
a) the damping effect is more brutal for fortresses with heavy pieces
on the board, because the initiative term is almost an endgame term;
b) the initiative implementation had a funny side effect, almost a bug,
in the rare positions where mg > 0, eg < 0 and the tampered eval
returned a positive value (ie with heavy pieces still on the board):
sending eg to zero via shuffling would **increase** the tampered
eval instead of decreasing it, which is somewhat illogical. This
patch avoids this phenomenon.

Give bonus for rooks that are alligned with enemy kingring
...
The idea of this patch is that if rooks are not directly attacking the opponent king,
they can support king attacks staying behind pawns or minor pieces and be really
deadly if position slightly opens up at enemy king ring ranks. Loosely based on
some stockfish games where it underestimated attacks on it king when enemy has one
or two rooks supporting pawn pushes towards it king.

A combo of parameters tweaks
...
This patch is a combinaison of two recent parameters tweaks which had
failed narrowly (yellow) at long time control:
• improvement in move ordering during search by softening the distinction
between bad captures and good captures during move generation, leading
to improved awareness of Stockfish of potential piece sacrifices (idea
by Rahul Dsilva)
• increase in the weight of pawns in the "initiative" part of the evaluation
function. With this change Stockfish should have more incentive to exchange
pawns when losing, and to keep pawns when winning.

Avoid sending info strings before 'uci' has been received
...
Do not send the following info string on the first call to
aligned_ttmem_alloc() on Windows:
info string Hash table allocation: Windows large pages [not] used.
The first call occurs before the 'uci' command has been received. This
confuses some GUIs, which expect the first engine-sent command to be
'id' as the response to the 'uci' command. (see https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/2681 )

Increase base time use and limit max used.
...
This change increases the base part of optimumTime at all depths. It also reduces the size of max_scale and thus maximumTime by using a linear scale instead of pow(x, 0.3) and by limiting max_scale to no more than 7 (previously as high as 8 or 9 at very high depths).

Don't adjust MoveOverhead by increment
...
This is a change to address a potential timing issue for slow networks.
Move Overhead was limited by TC increment,
which might be problematic if small increments (or sudden death)
on slow networks (needing high Move Overhead) are used.
STC, sudden death.

Workaround for older compiler
...
gcc < 5 doesn't fully support the c++11 `std::is_trivially_copyable<Entry>::value`
